I am no expert on this, but nobody answered, so i will try. :D

It seems to be a known issue is FreeBSD 9.0
i found the following on the net.

################## start

r225832 has been merged to 9-STABLE on 4 Jan 2012 as r229509 and you shouldn't
observe 'FLUSH: Operation not supported by device' constantly repeating. If
you do this is very strange and you should recheck your build. Please provide
the output of

   ident /sbin/hastd

command.

  JK> and hast.conf configuration from both machines:
  JK> I've decided to put metaflush option on every single level just to be
  JK> sure. No effect.

No need in disabling metaflush in your case. It will disable automatically
after the first attempt failed.

#################### end

FreeBSD 9.0 was also released in january!, but i can not tell if this 
patch has made it into release 9.0
I think it does not.
So if time permits, maybe try FreeBSD 9.1 which will proberbly be 
released any time now!

and best wishes
